Govt mulls lemon law for consumer protection


A LEMON law to strengthen existing consumer protection laws is being explored, says Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.

He said a feasibility study was being carried out, adding that having such a law in place would provide consumers with an avenue to file claims and seek legal redress if they receive defective or substandard motor vehicles that could not be repaired.
